According to some survey this guy took(it's not just a mere blog btw, the site is one of my favorite Japanese gaming news sites) of games people will buy for February, the most people are planning to buy Suikoden V; 83 people! It beat all the fierce competition:
Monster Hunter 2 - 59, Disgaea 2 -55, Devil May Cry Special Edition - 44, and others.

And a couple of days ago Suikoden V was the Number 1 Game on all of 1up.com (as well as in the RPGs section and the Playstation 2 section). It has since fallen to number 24 (#7 in RPG and #9 in PS2), but it's still a good sign!

I was just ion EB not more than 30 min ago and I saw on their TV that Suikoden V was coming out March 6th. I havetn' been able to verify this anywhere else...so can anyone here tell me if they have seen any sightings of a release date? Via magazine, TV commercial....website? Thanks in advance.

well suikoden 5 is for PS2 now and it's getting great reviews from gamer magazines. But some of these reviews include very negative remarks about suikoden 4 as well. Can't blame them. Basically saying Suikoden 5 could be the savior to the suikoden series after 4 was a complete utter failure.

im hopin it comes on the 28th.
Ive also heard that 5 is gonna be like the longest plot out of the whole series.
and they are releasing it on the 28th because of it being the 10th anniversary of the release of the first game in the United States

All men dream but not equally Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men for they may act on their dreams with open eyes to make them possible

Kingdom Hearts 2 comes out on the 28th too. So it looks like once again Suikoden is doomed to be overshadowed by square. I've preordered both anyway. Too best games of the year come out on the same day. Kind of cool, but still kind of sad for Suikoden. Oh well, it should still sell well, as good as it looks theres no way it couldn't.
